Great place to stay!

Everything worked like clockwork. We left some of our luggage 1 week ahead of our stay as we were flying to other islands and there were restrictions on the amount of luggage. The Melanesian hotel allowed us to store our luggage until our arrival! That’s great customer service. The room was clean, large, and comfortable!

The stay at Melanesian was average this time around. There was issues with bed bugs in my room. The hotel staff changed my room however the new room's air condition was not working. I was then shifted to another room. The extension to the reception was down for almost 4 days during my stay.
